Oh, thank you thank you thank you for having an eye for keeping your planner aesthetically gorgeous, but also practical and professional. You, more than anyone else, have inspired me last spring to get my own planner and personalize it to my needs while still keeping it simple. Thank you!
I love that your planner is beautiful yet functional. It's the perfect amount of stickers for my taste. I would love to see more plan with me videos to help me learn how to plan. Particularly I would love to see how you plan goals. It's something that I'm struggling with now
It's been a busy week at work, which means not a whole lot of time to look at my planner throughout the day. This was a great inspiration and motivation for me to get back into my planner!
Oh my gosh, I LOVE the Pomodoro Technique. It is incredibly effective and helps me get my work projects done on time, and with focus. I love the sticker to track it! Thank you so much, and I would love to see a "Plan with me" video. Best wishes, Kim
Binder style brings me back to the days of using a Filofax. I miss it and every year think I'll go back to it. Always LOVE your planner videos, Ashley! Very inspiring! xo
Hi Ashley, I love your all your Plan with Me videos. They are very inspirational. I would say your videos are the best planning videos I’ve seen on RU-vid! Thanks for sharing all the things you use to make your planner beautiful and functional. I get to know InkWELL press planner from your channel and immediately fell in love with it. Just bought their newly launched 2017 planner as a gift for my friend and she loves it too! Love your makeup videos a lot too! Can’t wait to see more videos from you~~!
I totally watch these videos just to see what you get up to on a day to day basis and I also look at what you're eating for some inspiration! I actually plan everything in my life on my google calendar which is synced to my iPhone 6+ because I love being paperless. I also use my reminders app on my phone religiously as a working to-do list with multiple different tabs like Groceries, Receipts, Reminders, etc. just like you're notepad page that you washy tape on the end of the month. Anyways, thanks for another awesome video! You're the kind of person I wish I was friends with!
+Elizabeth Miller I wish we all lived close so we could have big meet-ups and talk about beauty + life. Thanks for the comment! I love to hear how people plan. : )
This video is AWESOME!!! Love your style and can't wait to visit all the cool shops you suggested. Thank you. Hope you keep us updated on your progress.
Love Love your planner videos. I purchased the Inkwell Press planner per your recommendation and I absolutely love it. I get a lot of great ideas from your planner series because you still keep it simple and clean! Hope to see more this year.
Beautiful planner. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas, and suggestions. Looking forward to hear how this planner worked for you at the end of the year. Shalom.
Ashley, I just have to tell you that you are a GREAT example to me. Thank you so much for sharing your planner organizational tips! I have searched for planner inserts that I feel I can honestly use to maximize my time and failed miserably. I think the LucKaty stickers are going to be most helpful! I have been subscribed to you for a couple of years (this account of mine is new) and I feel like I know you and we are just best buds organizing life together. Anyway! You are so beautiful and poised, and exude confidence and kindness from every pore! Have an awesome day!
+Alicia Olsen Alicia, I can't tell you how much I appreciate your comment. I've been having the worst day - I think my camera or mic is broken : ( - but reading this put a smile on my face. Thanks for sticking with me and for the kind words.
Heads up! The pilot pens are amazing!! However if your planner gets cold (I live in Canada, so if I leave something in the car) everything that you erased comes back. Also, if it gets too hot, like if you leave it too close to a vent or on the dash of your car, it will erase everything. Just something to keep in mind!
Your planner videos are so inspirational...I need to work on mine now! I'm using the Rifle Paper Co. planner this year and am loving it. Definitely going to check out those sticker shops! :)
Oh my gosh, LOVE your planner videos! Ok, let's be honest, love all your videos... You've inspired me to get my butt in gear again and get going on my planner. I have the flouro pink from Filofax and love it!
I've been hoarding our company's promotional erasable pens every time I go out with out the Sales team... Thanks so much for an erasable pen recommendation! Much cuter and they are refillable I see! Day Designer fans- I saw they sent out a free download printable today for the A5 planner!
Great video! Will definitely look into Inkwell Press inserts next time. I, too, was using a coil bound planner but like the binder style better. Will subscribe to your channel.
Wow - I wish my planner looked that neat (in tidiness, and ascetics). It's absolutely lovely! I love the Pilot Frixion erasable pens! (The Frixion colored pens are great too!) A darling video, as always! I do have a request - you are always so "put together", perhaps you could do a video on personal style? It seems to be a trend right now, I'd love your take on it. :)
I'm using the IWP inserts in a Filofax and I just love everything about it (so much so that I started doing PWM vids, ha)! So pleased to see how you are setting yours up, I really love your planner videos. Practical and pretty at the same time. Thank you for sharing! I saw you were looking for suggestions for a colorful binder choice - have you checked out Kikki K? They have some pretty and fun colors and also some textured leather ones.
Have a look at the Kikki K binders they are super cute... Can't believe it has taken me this long to stumble upon your channel... Fellow redhead planning cat lady from the UK here :-) :-) x
I needed to look out for a different way of planning ,the way I do it now aint working ,your way is nicer, neat and functional like what I need currently .OT it's cute that your family have their BDs in the same month 2 aquarius and 1Pisces
Really enjoyed watching your video as always! I just noticed that you wrote " re-fold dresser using Marie Kondo method " on the planner, could you please share your thoughts about the method and probably your declutter process as well as result with us ? Thank you !
Love this video! Would be interested to see your method for setting up your flex planner for the week. I am struggling with a good system. I have the quarterlies so much smaller space :(
Your planner is organized, functional, minimally decorated, and so pleasing to look at! I'm jealous of your handwriting! I have the Inkwell Press inserts in my Filofax A5 patent nude and I love it! I also have a Bullet Journal that I use mainly as a brain dump/daily download. Would you consider doing a Bullet Journal flip through sometime? It would go so well with your chic and minimalist style :-)
+Jennifer Jacinto One day I'm going to get a Patent Nude - I think it's the most stylish Filofax! RE: Bullet Journaling...I started following Boho Berry on IG, but I still really don't get Bullet Journaling. I'll have to look up some basic starter videos so I get a better understanding. : )
I was pretty smitten by the patent nude. Yeah look into bullet journaling - I think it's genius. I'm almost finished reading "Getting Things Done" so the bullet journal is great for listing "collections" and "projects." You can also incorporate the method into your current planner if you wish. Thanks! :-)
I am getting so inspired to start with my first planner (since school) soon! Your videos are so easy on the eyes, this one gave me a good sense of how to get started. One question - do you discard or keep all the old pages of your binder? I can't imagine discarding something that you put a lot of time into...Thanks!
Have you ever checked out Cloth & Paper? They are amazing for inserts and tabs as well as accessories if you are not crazy about the blue Inkwell tab pages. :)
I love all your videos! And Rifle Paper Co too :) Because of you I've started looking into cute washi tape! Also, what editing software do you use for your videos? Your titles are always so pretty!
I loooove your handwriting, it's very tidy! And those rosegold paper clip, where are they from? I bought a gold one from kikki k but yours are so much cuter 😍
+makeupTIA btw I found a similar bathroom glass storage container at Target over the weekend with copper colored metal. Thanks for the inspiration. I also mentioned it/you in my recent blog post and I would love it if you could check it out materealgirl.wordpress.com/2016/02/24/a-stationary-love-story/
i wanted to point you in the direction of a pen id recommend since you like the pilot frixion pens. the tattoo-design on the one you have is a bit of a deal breaker for me but i found they carry other frixion pens too that are slimmer, finer, and come in a variety of colors. they are sold individually or in sets and even make fine markers too. i love them all and highly recommend them! i would also recommend checking them out on the jetpens dot com site. that sit has an amazing pen selection.
The Japanese Frixion pens are all over Amazon. Look into them -- they have many different styles. They even have erasable highlighters, which I've been using for a half a year now.
Love watching your planning videos! You have me drooling over all those Rifle items! If you're looking for colorful binders, Webster's Pages makes the cutest ones called Color Crush. They're also a scrapbooking company, so you might have to check online stores like Scrapbook.com for them. :)
The writing of the erasable pen may disappear overtime. Let's say you store the planner in a warm place, the writing will disappear over time. I'm not sure whether the ink will stay there for a long period of time. If you don't plan on keeping the planners as a keep sake, then it will be okay.
I went to Inkwell to try and purchase the inserts but they're sold out and don't do them anymore! :( Anyone know where I can still get them by any chance?
There are some on the resale market, but the inkWELL Press quarterlies which are A5 and in the same format as the inserts Ashley uses available on the inkWELL press website. I used one for the last quarter of 2015 and loved it, it's what motivated me to purchase them for this year. They're functional and beautiful, the paper quality, though still very good, is better in the inserts, but still very nice and the price is reasonable enough to make it affordable to try it and see how you get on with the format. Happy planning!
Your planner is so adorable!! I wanted the IWP A5 inserts but by the time I could buy them they were sold out! I think that it wouldn't have been enough space for me though. I've been using the Day Designer inserts and I would definitely be cramped using the IWP! Though, I used to have the bound IWP.
